Enemy:
Authority over the power of the enemy:
19 “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.
20 “Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are
subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”
Jesus gave us authority over all the
power of the enemy. How tremendous! The enemy can do nothing to injure us
unless we let him. Most Christians are not aware that they have this authority,
so they let him run roughshod over them. We must absorb ourselves in the Word.
Then we will know what we can and cannot do. The enemy makes us think he can do
more harm to us than he is allowed to do. Even the demonic spirits are subject
to us. That’s not so we can get all puffed up though. Remember God is the one
giving us the authority. Today I was reading about Nebuchadnezzar. He got all
puffed up over all his glory instead of giving the glory to God. He spent seven
years in the wild like a beast. In Acts, King Herod also got puffed up after
giving a speech when the people shouted that it was the voice of a god and not
a man. He was struck with worms and died. Rejoice that your names are recorded
in Heaven.
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"My
children, the devil has no authority over you except what you give him. He has
no power to control you unless you let him. He and his people cannot do anything
to harm you if you will trust in Me and walk in My Word. I will not let any
evil thing come upon you to harm you if you will trust in Me. Let Me have My
way, and you will see My glory in your life. Nothing can touch you unless you
let it. It has no power or authority over you. You are in control of what comes
upon you. Do not allow the enemy to have his way in your life. Trust in Me to
control your life and what happens to you. I am your King, and I will not allow
anyone or anything to harm you if you trust Me.”
116. Jesus has given
me the authority to tread upon all the powers, devices, and spirits of the
enemy. No thing of the enemy will injure me. I will rejoice that my name is
recorded in Heaven.
